My 5X Pro Settings for All of My Consoles: Updated for Firmware 3.0 (2023)

Just over a year ago, I did a video going over my profiles for my consoles with the 5X Pro. A lot of firmware updates have been released since, along with some changes in my console set up, so it's time for an updated video! Some of these use HDR Flagging, others use different settings than before, and I've also got my Dreamcast up and running, along with my Wii using USB Loader, so a lot has changed! I'll go over my proffered settings for each of my consoles, and include some tips and tricks from the 5X Pro Console Mods Wiki (Definitely check that page out, it'll teach you a TON)! Please also share your preferred settings as well, I'm always open to trying new settings and tricks!

To access the menu as you see it here, you have to update the firmware of the 5X Pro. The firmware and instructions are on the RetroTink Website:

I show the process in this video:

The process is very simple, head to the 5X Pro’s firmware page on the RetroTink website to get the process started, a link to that website is further below.

Corrections:
*As noted by a helpful comment, the Deinterlacing settings don't matter unless you are getting an interlaced source. There was no reason for me to specify things like "Motion Adaptive" while on progressive sources like the SNES. Those settings come into play when you are using interlaced output modes from consoles like the Dreamcast, PS2, GCN, Xbox and so on (480i/576i/720i/1080i).

Update for N64: As an alternate to HDR and Scanlines, I’ve recently been enjoying 1080p Under, with either Generic or N64 Sampling depending on what I think looks best. All of the 5X Pro Gameplay of the recently finished N64 Retrospective uses those settings:

*Important Call-Out: YouTube's compression does takeaway a lot of detail that is seen in person that devices like RetroTINK, RAD2X, CARBY, and more output. Bear that in mind with any content containing capture footage from those devices. My commentary and opinions come from the Raw Capture Files and what it looks like on my TV, I can't account for what details are lost to compression until after the video is uploaded.
